• MCAS is Going "Green" with Peachjar!

    As part of our efforts to be more environmentally friendly, embrace innovative technology, and maintain fiscal responsibility, Michigan City Area Schools has moved from distributing paper flyers to a digital flyer service called Peachjar. 

    E-flyers are emailed directly to parents’ inboxes, as well as posted online for easy access. Paper flyers from outside organizations will no longer be distributed. 

    Once a flyer is posted to a school's Peachjar site, parents can view the flyer through the Peachjar link on each individual school’s home page. Additionally, flyers will be delivered to all parents' emails as an embedded image, not a link. This means parents will immediately see the flyer and be able to click through to an organization's website to sign-up. Flyers can also be viewed by those using our MCAS App.

    Want to Submit a Flyer?
    Peachjar charges organizations a fee to use this service that is typically less than the cost to copy and deliver flyers to each school. (Community organizations that do not charge for their programs/services may be allowed to display e-flyers for free.) To learn more about Peachjar, visit www.peachjar.com.

    All flyers that are not generated by Michigan City Area Schools or any of its individual schools will be prompted to include the following disclaimer as part of the Peachjar posting process: "Michigan City Area Schools does not endorse and is not responsible for any business, service or event advertised in this flyer."

    All promotional materials should be submitted at least two weeks prior to distribution, if possible.

    To request flyer approval:
    1. Visit www.peachjar.com or click on the Peachjar button on any school's home page.
    2. Register as an "Community Organization".
    3. Upload flyer for approval. MCAS staff will then review the material and approve or deny the request based on the standards below.

    NOTE:  If you are a parent group at one of our schools, these instructions do not apply.  Please contact your school's secretary or principal for details!

    Flyers that promote an educational experience for students or families, a healthy use of leisure time, and/or a special enrichment activity not duplicated by MCAS or an affiliated program.
